Ok, my coil-overs came in this week. Friends went to install them... they don't fit! Doh! Apparently newer MINIs built after March or April I guess have different suspension mounts compared to older ones. My MINI was built in February 2002. Has anyone experienced this? The coil-overs are Koni made for Racing Dynamics. Do we need adapters to make them fit or a completely different kit? Any info people can provide would be appreciated.

I think you have the "old" version before the left-pull issue was fixed. Which means that an entirely new kit is needed. sorry!
